Coffee table to ottoman

I have been on the look out for a coffee table with similar legs to the chairs that I have.  I found one today at the GW for $10. The only part of it that is real wood are the legs. It’s just awful.

I sprayed it, added a bit of distressing and some fabric. It’s better but I’m not that good of an upholsterer. I think some trim will help :)

    You are a genius! I would never have thought to do that with a coffee table. I think you're a pretty darn good upholsterer! Great job!

    You did such a great job on this! I have a coffee table that is the same exact shape as yours that I was thinking of re-doing. This would be the perfect solution! Hope you have a great week! ~Andrea @ Life in Dawleywood

    I am sooo enjoying looking through your blog. You have really worked hard to get out of the ordinary and add a creative flair to make things your "own".

    After several difficult years I'm finding myself crawling out of the cave and finding inspiration to make some changes.

    This is a wonderful use of this table. It is an encouragement to look at some ordinary things with different eyes! Thank you!
